What is the the Bridging Programme?
The Bridging Programme is a bespoke series of events, designed to:
- orient you to life in Cambridge
- explain how the University and College work
- equip you with the necessary skills and knowledge to be able to start your degree in the best possible way.
The Bridging Programme takes place over three days during freshers’ week and forms part of the College’s induction events for undergraduate students. The Bridging Programme will help you settle into College life and Cambridge. You’ll meet other undergraduate students, make friends, and be set up for a flying start with your studies.
I found the Bridging Programme extremely useful, especially the sessions on my Tripos, the stress-management and resilience workshops, the “Overcoming Imposter Syndrome” workshop, and the academic skills sessions. These sessions have provided valuable insights into what lies ahead on my Cambridge journey and how best to navigate it. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to attend such a programme.
